"... General-purpose operating systems provide inadequate support for resource management in large-scale servers. Applications lack sufficient control over scheduling and management of machine resources, which makes it difficult to enforce priority policies, and to provide robust and controlled service. ..."

coincide in the process abstraction. This coincidence prevents a process that manages large numbers of network connections, for example, from properly allocating systemresources among those connections. We propose and evaluate a new operating system abstraction called a resource container, which separates

"... Interact hosting centers serve multiple service sites from a common hardware base. This paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture for resource management in a hosting center op-erating system, with an emphasis on energy as a driving resource management issue for large server cl ..."

in accordance with negotiated Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our system is based on an economic approach to managingshared server resources, in which services &quot;bid &quot; for resources as a func-tion of delivered performance. The system continuously moni-tors load and plans resource allotments

We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have

"... We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired (sampled) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acq ..."

To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."
